#32102: CouchDB 1.1.1 fails to start (/opt/local/var/run/couchdb directory missing) ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: snaury@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: couchdb ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- After installing couchdb 1.1.1 it fails to start. After some digging I managed to find that this was because /opt/local/var/run/couchdb directory was missing (where it is trying to create a file specified by [couchdb] uri_file). For reference, this is printed in the log when this happens: {{{ [Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:43:57 GMT] [info] [<0.31.0>] Apache CouchDB has started on http://127.0.0.1:5984/ [Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:43:57 GMT] [error] [<0.30.0>] {error_report,<0.30.0>, {<0.30.0>,crash_report, [[{initial_call, {application_master,init, ['Argument__1','Argument__2','Argument__3', 'Argument__4']}}, {pid,<0.30.0>}, {registered_name,[]}, {error_info, {exit, {bad_return, {{couch_app,start, [normal, ["/opt/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini", "/opt/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]}, {'EXIT', {{badmatch,{error,enoent}}, [{couch_server_sup,start_server,1}, {application_master,start_it_old,4}]}}}}, [{application_master,init,4}, {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}}, {ancestors,[<0.29.0>]}, {messages,[{'EXIT',<0.31.0>,normal}]}, {links,[<0.29.0>,<0.7.0>]}, {dictionary,[]}, {trap_exit,true}, {status,running}, {heap_size,987}, {stack_size,24}, {reductions,163}], []]}} [Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:43:57 GMT] [info] [<0.100.0>] Stopping all ongoing replications because the replicator database was deleted or changed }}} After I created /opt/local/var/run/couchdb directory and chown'ed it to user/group couchdb it finally started and I could relax. ;) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32102> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
